U LIKE?

I've never felt 100% comfotable playing 'What u Like'.

Memory Jog:



When I played it at my daytime DJ slot at Topman, an angry man stalked towards me and hissed 'there are children in here'



My Mom came over one Sunday night and I was banging out the Major Lazer album... (standard Sunday evening) ... Lets just say she said the same thing about 'What U Like' as she said about the 'difficult' scenes in Lynch's 'Blue Velvet'

And yet, I've never been more comfortable listening to anything in relation to its surroundings as I did listening to 'What U Like' at the Major Lazer in the Village Underground.

Huge warehouse: check
Huge PA: check
Huge crowd: check
Huge party vibes: check
Huge cocks: check (if you get me... sorry Mom, thank you Slutever)


A very dubstep heavy set, Major Lazer was all about the PARTY. Two dancers, a ladder, blow up lazers and Ace of Bases' 'All that She Wants' featured. I did spend part of the show worrying for the safety of the two dancers who were daggering on giant speakers. But I was enjoying the immense Mash Up of Major Lazer to care too much. I realised more than ever before that Pon De Floor truly is a modern day classic. No question. The infectious beat is so good, they played it twice.

Apart from sweating as much as I imagine Peter Kay sweats on a day to day basis... It truly was an absolute Hoot.

My only regret: I wasnt right at the front #pussy #deadinside

I'm going to leave you guys with a quote:

Diplo "Errrr waking up on a flight witha giant boner is not as cool as it sounds"

MAJOR LAZER I LOVE YOU.

Matt Gurning.

This weekend, I went to my first ever ATP. At the prestigious place, located: Butlins, Minehead, I met a real life legend.

Oops. Not that one//////////

This one:

Just to clear things up before we get started, Matt Groening was not gurning/grinding in anyway (wish the latter). ATP is just a bit 'gurn' if you get me. Before I left, a friend (who doesn't want to be named) said, and I quote:

"Who's even playing? Well, whatever... I guess it's not really about the music."

Photobucket

Alright mate.


Anyway. I could sit and write about how many SUPER AWESOME bands I saw (which I did) and how my crush on Joanna Newsom is getting TOTALLY out of hand now (fuck, why is her hair so amazing) and how Spritualized had 30 people on stage (my favourite being the gospel section, back right hand of the stage) and how Iggy was amazing although I think he's cut Gordon Ramsey's face off and stuck it to his bingo wings (I'm not joking).

But I'm just too excited and need to boast that I really am the luckiest girl ALIVE. EVER.

Matt Groening drew me.

Apart from the fact I look a tiny bit like I'm fashioning a goaty/bumfluff look, this really has made my year.
